Best Kept Secret of YRF

Alyque Padamsee and Sharon Prabhakar's daughter Shazahn is a hot property in Bollywood these days. She is making her debut in Yash Raj's upcoming flick 'Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year' opposite Ranbir Kapoor.

Yash Raj has always been popular for the secrets they keep of the actresses and this time also they tried their best to keep their new lass away from the media glare. But a little birdie from the sets reports that Shazahn is very freindly with Prateik Babbar who often drops in on locations.

Adds the source, "The youngsters have a lot in common - both come from families of actors. Moreover, the two started off in Bollywood around the same time. They also stay close by to each other in Bandra and share several common interests."

When asked about Prateik, Shazahn says, "He is a close friend. I have known Prateik for eight years. We are in the same age group; I am 21, he is 22 and we are part of a group that hangs out together. In fact, our families go a long way back. My dad not only knew Prateik's mom but also knows her sister (Manya).."

Adds Prateik, "As far as I can remember, I have not been on the sets of Rocket Singh. Shazahn and I know each other well. In fact, we've grown up together."

The reason why Babbar boy finds her so special is that just like her eminent theatre personality dad and singer mom, Shazahn is keen about drama and acting.

She has acted in the play ‘Unspoken Dialogues’ which turned out to be very successful. She has also helped her parents with the production of plays, was also chosen by FHM India to be a FHM girl, shot a hot photo shoot with them and had a stint with the ramp too.

The buzz is that Shazahn was supposed to be launched by Vivek Vaswani but a Bollywood start in an YRF project seemed more exciting for her.

If everything goes well, this promising young actress could very well be a threat to many existing ladies of B-Town
